Annotations

I showed my poems

to friends of mine

they read it all

and advised me fine;

Few laughed, few cried

others had a cold spine

some criticised dutifully

and wrote me a line.

"You write too good

and may you soar like a kite

but why is the nature harsh

why is it always night?"

For the nature is calm

and the night is peaceful

you feel it in your heart:

the duo is beautiful!

"We like the wind

we love the rain

but the thunderstorms take over

and comes in your pain"

Cool breezes are normal

while the stars shine bright

but lightning reflects pain

that is what helps me write.

"Could you be more alive

could you add more colour

can it be a day,

can you show some valour?"

well, it can rain heavy

when the sun is hard

for that is what life is

rainbow across a boulevard.

"Autumn takes over

there's barely a ray of hope

why does your calendar end,

why is spring out of scope?"

Winter is about apples,

snow is what fascinates me

when the new year kicks in,

how far would spring be?

To my friends who probe

this poem answers few

inspite of hating winters

don't we all love dew?

Spring would bring flowers,

and colourful it would be

would we appreciate happiness

if we were forever pain free?
